How Often Do You Need Septic Tank Pumping?

 

Busy Bee Septic and Excavating LLC is an integral part of your sewage system. It receives waste from your home’s drain lines, and solids settle at the bottom while light materials float to the top of the tank. Solid waste that accumulates in the septic tank can cause clogs and system failure. Having the septic tank pumped at regular intervals prevents this waste from building up to a critical level, and can extend the lifespan of your septic system.

The best way to determine how often you need septic tank pumping is to schedule routine inspections. These visits help you keep track of the tank levels and ensure that the septic tank is not overflowing. The number of people living in your home also helps to determine how many times a year you need the septic tank pumped. If you have a family of four, for example, your household will produce more waste than a single person living alone.

When it comes to septic tank pumping, the goal is to remove all of the liquid waste and floating solids from the tank. A professional service provider will use a large tanker truck equipped with vacuum equipment to suck out the tank contents and transfer them to a permitted septic system disposal facility. After the septic tank is emptied, the service provider will return the clean manhole cover to its proper location.

You can reduce the frequency of septic tank pumping by avoiding high-water usage and other activities that can overload the system. You can also install water-saving appliances and fixtures, plant grass or shallow-rooted plants around the absorption field, and ensure that no solid objects are flushed down the drains and toilets.
